I think this is a necessary option to have for the watch, as it gives it a more casual look that also refers to a classic pilot watch style. I find the “Nighthawk” moniker in the dial, plus the fully lumed markers and raised 12 and 6 numerals more attractive than in the Japan-Euro versions of the Promaster Sky, its official model name. Since I find a fixed 24-hour time (synchronized to the local time) pretty useless, I would first set the 24-hour hand to GMT, which is 8 hours behind my time zone.

Visually, this area is very dense and complicated, but once you get a sense of where it ends, you can teach yourself to ignore it when you want to simply tell the time.

While the original Nighthawk offered a fairly traditional overall case profile, the new Citizen Promaster Nighthawk (ref. Both index extend a little past their end time to create an overlap area (hence the about 8 extra degrees). Some complicated movements that require more battery power, as with certain Campanola models are non-Eco Drive.
